everyone is after a piece of the arctic sea minerals treasury the best scientific minds come together in moscow to make sure exploration doesn't need to exploitation. one comes down below them in the arctic russia's prime minister vladimir putin says nature shows we must cooperate resulting in some of the most. at the most scope for doing it in the great showing just a few minutes for more i'm. calling for unity in the big apple as international leaders focus on the global poverty middle east peace and a world security. middle says the alliance and russia need each other and should work on missile defense jointly iran is urged by the international community to resume talks we'll bring you all the latest updates from new york ahead in the

program. and the violent martial arts farther with extremist views is seeking political asylum in norway after escaping from a russian a psychiatric facility last month. you're watching r t coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program and also we're told story it may be one of the world's most inhospitable places but it's also among the most keenly sought after and that's why several nations including russia canada and the united states are in the race for the billions of tons of oil and gas which lie beneath the arctic only scientists and politicians are in moscow to ensure cutthroat competition does not destroy conservation and let's get more from our. custody not now all the nations

surrounding the icecap are very keen to secure their share of the region's wealth now how likely is it that the arctic will turn into a battleground. one of the hottest issues surrounding one of the world's called us regions is territorial claims at the moment several arctic states including russia canada the united states danmark and no way for what their claims and i'm trying to prove the rise to the among most of which which is believed to contain as much as a quarter of the world's untapped undiscovered natural resources so a very lucrative piece of pie the question is how this pie is going to be divided and who gets what russia's stance is that any territorial dispute should be resolved through dialogue and it demonstrated an example of the power of dialogue with norway when recently signed an agreement with these arctic states which put an end to almost a four decade dispute of. foundries and the many point to this

agreement as an example of how similar to rhetorical conflicts could be resolved in the future the prime minister today said that any atoll corpore war or fierce battle over the icecap of the world are exaggerated to say the least but he said that every arctic state in russia in the first place as the world's largest arctic country can and should protect and protect its strategic interests in the north pole while russia's go into research work to provide data behind its territorial claims but the should be done and there should be no disputes otherwise the price of any dispute surrounding this very delicate region is high. but what is to stop it is that we have to hear some futuristic forecasts burnell for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening

scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the predictions can fish for something in the murky waters. but i am absolutely sure that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the. now for more on what's been on the agenda of the international oxic forum in moscow i'll now joined by finland's ambassador to the arctic holliman thank you very much for joining us mr holland so what's been the main idea behind this for what we're talking about about saving the arctic for generations preserving its environment or about getting out the most getting the most out of it. well as we see it here the case is really the end of the woods is. insane to think it's affecting everyone. we are in there are to come to be don't have a access to the arctic sea anymore so so we have got

no place there but we have an experience leaving the arctic conditions seafaring you have a lot of ice breakers going to finland and russia and so on so we have very very actively in there we have just finished arctic said that she would say it's a game out that this is this summer and you wish to spend it here on the arctic council members and it's now we just heard that the russians will we will publish perhaps next week they are to get started so that there will be no could even go into all the old very very good and. as finland we look at environment economic. all the cities question should i think infrastructure institutions. or force think the new york city. but specifically say you remember we tried to help to make a coherent. policy this is really one of the main points and not just

a hundred most of us haven't been to the arctic never but from what we see and hear the picture looks very dire climate change global warming. ice is melting it's the picture that gloomy. it can be but the company i mean probably be already over the face of. the case and and we have to go into adaptation but i think humankind is the seven adaptable one so so we can we can add up but we have to know what it's going on and that's why i agree with those which we could also hear because. if associated. that all science we need to her decide to few facts and then we need to inform her of the facts it's very important for the arctic council to talk about their communication all to start to see the people understandable this is also the question for all governments and the e.u.

. we should not perceptions we should have real knowledge and be we should have more of this dialogue like we're having here. operation instead of confrontation indeed that we did this been the main message of this forum and territorial disputes should be resolved on decisions based on science thank you very much for your insight on holland in finland some to the arctic live from the international optic forum which is being held in the russian capital is minutes. thank you very much for that that was our. reporting and we'll have more coverage on the disputed area throughout the day so do stay with r.t. . now the largest form of world leaders culminates on thursday as nearly two hundred nations roundoff the un general assembly has been dominated by hitting poverty goals but with many eyes on the middle east and iran suspect nuclear

program other matters on the sidelines include russia's dealings with nato r.t.s. and us to see a true get out explains. one of the most important events of the day has been the russian nato council meeting where sides agreed that it's important to continue to cooperate and spheres like fighting drug trafficking in afghanistan security in europe and of course missile defense this is a very important moment because in the last couple of days nato secretary general has been saying that it's important for russia and nato to try to find a way to work in missile defense together to try to come up with a joint project the relationship between nato and russia has gone through some rough patches ever since the georgian the setting in conflict back in the year two thousand and eight and of course the possibility and nato's eastward expansion but the secretary general of nato gave a press conference where he said that it's very important for russia and nato to continue building a stronger and warmer and more trusting relationship the joint review of the twenty

first century common security challenges. call peroration on afghanistan. more practical cooperation in try to cherish all piracy hopefully from my point of view as star controllers corporation jerry. defense today corporation with russia in addressing these challenges is no longer just an opportunity to build a better relationship with russia it has become a necessity if we want to be effective in preserving our common security now another important meeting was the five permanent members of the security council plus germany meeting to discuss the latest situation the developing situation with iran basically the five permanent members plus germany got together to assess whether or not the existing sanctions have been working and impacting iran's actions now the main idea that came out of the five plus one meeting was that the

group wants iran to resume talks about the possibility of negotiations is welcomed and and wanted. interesting that it has hinted that basically it is open to discussions however we have to remember that iran and iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad has really been playing a lot of mind games lately among other things that he has said is that iran is going to launch a war against the united states if the united states tackles iran's uranium facilities are other things that mahmoud ahmadinejad has said that iran is open for dialogue and then he was saying that this format of five plus one is not exactly the best way for iran to cooperate so really no details worked out yet but at today's meeting the five plus one try to come up with the next steps that they would take if iran sits down for negotiations a martial arts champion who escaped from a russian psychiatric hospital has turned up in norway where he's pleading to be allowed to stay extreme nationalists viesturs love dot sick has

a history of violence and was armed when he showed up to immigration office officials now sorry for takes up the story. he ran it decided he could no longer hide not long after his escape from the psychiatric facility in st petersburg. six has emerged in norway where he handed himself david to authorities asking them to grant him political asylum and that thank you. within there were a. day as well as highs of the last this part of the service this grabbing the attention. wearing a t. shirt with a swastika and carrying a loaded gun he turns himself and he makes a rat equinox calling for the ugly to die and praising his slavic god for party members have openly supported his as. he called me several hours before that video was made and said he was going to turn himself in i replied that it was up to him

he thanked me for supporting him murder threats assault and robbery and an alleged psychotic breakdown placed in high security psychiatric can but after transfer to a low security facility he made light work of escaping whipping up a wire fence with his hands he simply walked away the doctors a dissing him too intimidated to intervene serious questions have been raised as to how exactly a psychiatric patient managed to escape and make it out of russia without being caught but there is a little funny they tell us that he's totally insane and all he does a scream and in reply to any question however he managed to cross two borders and he brought his weapon along i know one member of the slav again who originally came from is because don he asked for political asylum and was granted a residence visa i'm not sure what will happen with datsik but anything is possible . now under arrest in norway the former fighters fate hangs on whether he'll be

extradited back to russia to political asylum. see. well for more on the story i'm joined by stein actually i reporter at the norwegian channel. hello to you now how do you think a patient from a psychiatric facility could possibly cross the norwegian border and end up walking freely in the capital and carrying a gun no less home that's a very good question everybody here asks the same thing of course a lot a lot of illegal immigrants come to norway every single day it's not that hard to get into norway and of course we don't know if the if he brought the gun from russia or if he had if he got the gun here when he was arrested on tuesday with two comrades they confiscated many weapons and many other paraphernalia in the headquarters of this slavic union. and so presumably he could have gotten the

weapon here as well so you know well the question that we're thinking now is how likely is it that will be granted asylum in norway. at the moment aside the question is not really a question here in norway it's more the procedurals through the arrest and the court proceedings i just came back from court right now is in court right now and for acknowledging law when the police arrest someone they have to present them for court within forty eight hours was there and he stood up and made a nazi salute to the court before the court turned into a circus the judge threw everybody out and proceeded for closed doors he is indicted for illegal having illegal weapons sources two comrades and the reason this has. gotten a lot of attention here in norway is that the norwegian authorities are very very afraid that they're not far right extreme environment will grow here in norway we

had a problem with a fifteen years ago last five six years it's been nonexistent and we also know that the norwegian intelligence and security apparatus had been following dot sick this his comrades for days before they arrested him on tuesday so you're saying that the their vision government is not looking into giving him an asylum you're saying that it's not a question right now with norway if that is the case is he likely to be sent back to russia then. well of course anybody who applies for asylum has the right to have his. request process didn't do proper process and of course six application will be processed in the same way there is however annoyed because we have so many illegal immigrants coming into norway there's a so-called fast track for. asylum applications i doubt i seriously

doubt he will be given asylum although you never know course ok well you earlier you mentioned the government's reaction to this but what has been the reaction of the norwegian public to this story. this is a very very. high profile story of course because it's such a high profile person. the videos of him are on you tube and internet and the pictures of him and he's a high profile person he likes the attention just like now in court when he stood up and made the nazi salute to all the journalists was there and he wanted the court to be open and he argued for the court proceedings should remain open so obviously he does get a lot of attention here from the public i think most people. the general public. would like him to be sent back to russia as soon as possible and there is of course

a fear that the right extremist environment in norway will grow up again we've had some very very bad incidents in the past with murders and church burnings and so on and nobody wants to return to that state right thank you very much for your comments that was stein actor a reporter at the norwegian channel t.v. too. and keep ahead of what's happening by logging onto our web site and there's plenty for you to see right now on dot com as nationalism gains ground throughout europe the austrians edge towards regional power this coming weekend on a wave of anti islamism. and me to a group of vigilantes fighting for and love in india these commandos have taken it upon themselves to protect newly wed tiger not against their parents wishes now for more head to dot com. russia has given poland more than

twenty volumes of documents detailing the mass killing of polish officers in the soviet union in the 1940's now it's part of moscow's fourteen year long investigation into the massacre thousands of imprisoned poles were executed in the forest near smuggling. russia has since acknowledged that soviet forces were responsible for the deaths but still wanted further investigation into the incident this is the second handover of evidence relating to the case following warsaw's calls for legal assistance. and now to some international stories in brief this hour pressure is mounting on officials in delhi as more countries delay their arrival for the commonwealth games in india new zealand along with canada and scotland have to spoil their travel plans to the event it all comes after indian organizers faced criticism over poor accommodation for athletes and the collapse of a foot bridge which could have injured twenty seven workers at the games are due to

and i welcome to the business program with me shall i miss folly carbon trading was one of the key elements of the kyoto protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions analysts say russia office tremendous potential for carbon trading as it ran up a huge carbon deficit at the beginning of the decade when industrial production was low joining me now to discuss how the system is supposed to work and where the money if is michael when can wilkins the head of called market seven poor thank you very much for joining us so first of all could you just explain how does carbon trading was such a cop and trading is when one country trades koppen productions with another one so if you would choose the amount of greenhouse gas that you put into the atmosphere you can sell that with auction to another country for profit and the same as any other commodity. not respect the only big difference is that it's very strictly

regulated under the kyoto protocol by the united nations so it is essentially a commodity market it's worth around one hundred forty four billion dollars a year in terms of global alliance trading and most of the activity is in the european emissions trading scheme but other countries are increasingly selling credits into the trading scheme including russia so is it possible to make money from it if there is a possibility to make money essentially if you reduce the amount of carbon you put into view atmosphere and you invest money to do so then you earn a carbon credit carbon credit can then be sold at a profit into an emissions trading scheme so it is possible to make money out of it now you're here in moscow for a conference the carbon markets and investment invest association and what ten shill does rush off a full. well russia at the moment is an box on a major milestone in terms of its carbon trading activity it's just approved the first fifteen mission reduction projects under the j i scheme stuns the joint

implementation those fifteen projects account for somewhere in the region of thirty seven million tonnes of carbon reductions and they are going to be sold into the international market now while that's not a huge amount of carbon reduction we're talking about three hundred seventy million euros in terms of the value compared to hundred forty four billion overall clovelly is still important to start from for russia we've been waiting for four years to get to this stage and more importantly russia is now going to carry on tendering out more and more projects under the estimated value of the market for russia somewhere in the region of two point seven billion euros on the sumption body generates one hundred billion tonnes of carbon reduction per year it's a lot at stake and therefore i should say what rules does the country need to adult then to take advantage over its emission reductions russia's made a good start by adopting legislation and new rules for the trading of emission reduction credits. we're now starting to. go through the process of approval but

really what russia needs to do we've got to get to the stage of wide scale trading is a talk in the mission's trading scheme like we've seen in europe that will allow caps to be put on companies big polluting companies like coal fire stations and cement producers and that will allow those companies to actually earn money from the allowances they'll be trading system and then they can also buy and generate offsets that would be a multi-functional system like we see in the you know russia is the world's fourth largest emitter of carbon dioxide now how does that compare to other nations especially the efforts to reduce emissions well up to recently russia has done precious little to reduce its carbon emissions because russia has huge amounts of resources in fossil fuels it hasn't really seen the need to reduce its energy efficiency because energy is essentially very cheap in russia but now we're starting to see a change in political. atmosphere excuse the pun because the fires which happened

during the summer showed that climate change on the impact of climate change can be quite devastating and that's led to a political movement in favor of a nation's production so it can actually implement a lot of measures to reduce so far most of those have been centered on your own and gas sector but we expect to see more coming involved in terms of energy efficiency most importantly renewable energy up to now when you read you have not been the feature of the russian landscape whereas in the developing countries in emerging markets there are a big feature so that would be a massive change wilkens the head of standard imposed thank you very much for speaking with us the pleasure. time now see how the markets are performing and european shares a sliding further into the red raising i think gains that follows the release of the year is that i'm purchasing managers survey for september showing activity rose at the slowest pace in seven months. thanks are extending losses on the seas

investors remain unconvinced by the pace of economic recovery. and it's much the same picture here in moscow with both e.l.t.'s and sex in the red energy majors in the main drag of gas problem slipping more than one percent on the l.c.s. the salad. from earlier losses is now gaining home. now go prices or us all time highs near thirteen hundred dollars per ounce many analysts expect the rally to continue which is seeing prices rise thirty six percent since the beginning of the year seen as a hedge against economic uncertainty gold has been one of the best performing asset classes throughout the financial crisis to mccutcheon c.e.o. to gold explains people are taking into account the overall situation in the global economy clearly as a whole the global economy is not doing as well as i think it would like so all gold is doing is basically acting as an insurance policy if you will in future economic uncertainty but it also is doing of course we'll go always those traditionally is act as

a real absolute way of storing well i suppose the nominal value such as national currencies i think the gold still has legs i think it's going to go higher although the reality is that gold's been going up. over ten years so but i don't say that gold's going to go higher lightly i really think it will because i see massive amount of money printing throughout the world not only in the u.s. you see other places too for example the bank of japan just intervene on their currencies behalf essentially devaluing the currency and so all of these things taken into account basically mean that been nominal value of gold which is what we see on our screens every day is going to go higher so you can if you can has a way it's going to. leisure update for this hour you can always find most stories on our website on business.
